Racing Through the Dark by David Millar, Jeremy Whittle

4.0

Liked this a lot. Really made me understand how a professional athlete goes from being convinced he'll never dope, to doping.

Redshirts by John Scalzi

4.0

Sweet homage to sci-fi nerdery. Funny, but does not make fun of it.

Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley

4.0

Of all Jane Smiley's novels I've read, this has been my favorite.

Breathers: A Zombie's Lament by S.G. Browne

5.0

Great fresh take on the zombie genre - this is told from the point of view of a zombie, who is exasperated by the "Breathers".
Extra points for the setting in Santa Cruz, CA, close to where I live.

Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan, Maira Kalman
